Hello everybody,
does anyone know how does p2pool know how many coin there is in a block?
I started mining now because PPLNS is based on share so mining 6hour at 150khs will give me the same amount of share than mining with 6x150khs when 20k coin block will be out. But is there a formula to update in p2pool or it will automatically detect the 20k coin block and automatically calculate new payout via PPLNS ratio with share already done?
What I mean: is number of coin in block hardcoded in p2pool or just "detected"?
It is taken from the last block which was found on the network (not just the pool) and it makes the assumption the next will have the same amount of coin (never had any problem on pandacoin for which the reward was random).
